Wow man, zoom in and see the front end of the car. The grill, the headlights and the front facia in general. It is awesome. It will put many of the today's luxury cars to shame.

In the childhood, I have seen two persons pushing a fabricated hand cart carrying cinema posters back to back between the from and rear wheels. And two band wala persons accompanying, playing some song of the cinema. The cart used to roam across the entire town to advertise and induce the people to watch the cinema.
